I just have to say, especially for anyone who's considering the Lap Band and looking on these boards for advice, I absolutely love my Lap Band. Seriously. This is by the far the BEST thing I've ever done for myself.

I was banded on Jan. 6, 2012. I have lost 62 pounds in the last 3 months since being banded. I have Multiple Sclerosis, and since losing this weight (even though I still have a lot to lose) I feel so much better physically. I have even been able to stop taking a couple of my medications for MS symptoms because the symptoms have improved as my weight has dropped.

Also, I can eat anything, just in small quantities. I've never vomited or spit up since surgery, either.

I am very much in the Green Zone as far as fills, too.

So for anyone considering Lap Band, I would highly recommend it. I positively love mine!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
